Objectives: To evaluate nasal septum changes after rapid maxillary expansion (RME) during the mixed dentition and to verify the association between quantitative and qualitative assessments of nasal septum deviation (NSD) by ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialists.
Materials And Methods: The sample comprised 24 patients (11 male, 13 female) with a mean age of 7.62 ± 0.
Evaluation of the impact of alveolar bone graft surgery on the nasal cavity of individuals with cleft lip and palate.
J Appl Oral Sci
November 2024
Objective: Cleft lip and palate are the most common congenital malformations in the craniofacial region, occurring at a rate of 1:700 births in Brazil. These conditions lead to functional impacts on patients, such as changes in breathing, teeth, speech, chewing, swallowing and sucking. Treatment begins with primary surgeries, including lip and palate repair, which aim to reconstruct the soft tissues.

- COVID-19, caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, can range from mild to severe, with significant clinical complications linked to excessive immune responses and high levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines.
- This study investigated two gene variants, rs2494746 and rs1130214, in relation to severe COVID-19 outcomes, analyzing samples from 508 infected individuals to assess cytokine levels and genetic information.
- Findings revealed that the rs2494746-C allele is associated with worse disease outcomes, including increased severity, ICU admissions, and mortality, contributing valuable insights into how genetic factors affect immune responses to COVID-19.
The effect of antireaction medications on the association between periodontitis and leprosy reactions: An important methodological issue in periodontal medicine.
J Periodontol
June 2024
Background: The treatment of leprosy reactions (LRs) involves thalidomide, corticosteroids, and other immunomodulatory medications. This study evaluated the effect of these treatments on the association between periodontitis and LRs, as well as factors associated with LRs.
Methods: This case-control study was conducted on 283 individuals followed at a leprosy outpatient clinic in Brazil.
Background: Excess weight (EW), especially in women of childbearing age, those who are pregnant, as well as postpartum, is a problem worldwide. Fat accumulation deregulates the inflammatory response, contributing to the development of health problems, such as periodontitis. This study investigated the association between EW and periodontitis during pregnancy.
